Vitamin Sea- A Zine Collaboration

Today I have a fun project to share with you!

Two of my art journal friends Vanessa and Julia (whom I met through the art journaling group Get Messy) and I created a Space themed zine back in August. We ended up giving the zine to one of the Get Messy founders, Caylee.

Well, this past month we've created a second zine, this time with an underwater theme to gift to the other talented lady behind the Get Messy Community- Lauren. We even got two more art journaling friends to join in on the fun, Rebecca and Kate!

Here are my pages-

Like the last zine, I did this one while I was still traveling. Which meant limited supplies! I used some cheap kids watercolors, micron pens, and about 6-8 acrylic paints I stole from my sister. :)

For this mermaid page, I was inspired by a mermaid drawing I had seen on pinterest, and I love the way she turned out! The mermaid is mostly acrylic paints (I did a lot of mixing colors!), and the background is watercolors.

For this next page, I wanted it to look like a bunch of framed pieces of art. Do you think it worked? I doodled it all with a micron pen, and then went back in with watercolors.

This last page is my favorite of them all! Why? Because, you know.. It has a galaxy! I tried really hard to keep my pages all sea themed, but I love space so much, a moon just slipped right in there.

I printed the moon out and glued it in, then went a bit crazy with paints! ;)

Here is the back inside of the zine, where we signed our names-

Gifting zines is so much fun!

Vanessa built the base of this one, mailing it to me, and then I sent I sent it across the seas to the UK so that Rebecca, Kate and Julia could work in it!

I highly encourage you guys to go visit their blogs and see the rest of the zine!
